A budget of £250,000 will be used to produce more fruit, vegetables, salad and eggs on the islands, overseen by the Falkland Islands Development Corporation (FIDC).
«The aim is for the Falklands to become self sufficient and less susceptible to external pressure,» said David Waugh, general manager of the FIDC.
Around 12,000 eggs are also imported by plane once a fortnight.
Grants will be made available for new businesses seeking to help supply fresh produce on the islands.
Mr Waugh said the object was, «not to attract keen gardeners or hobbyists, but to encourage and assist professional, serious business minded operators.»
